[gmediaserver-devel] Serving a PS3: Pause, Fast-Forward, etc. not possible?

[Sascha Runschke]

Hi all,

I really hope this ain't a stupid question, but I haven't found any 
references answering it.
I just bought a PS3 and want to use my linux server as mediaserver for 
streaming videos and photos. But sadly I stumbled over a problem I 
cannot determine the cause of:

When playing with my PS3, I can neither pause the video, nor do 
fast-forward or backward or anything else - basically I can only do 
"play" and "stop", which rewinds the film to the beginning. Everything 
else is greyed out in the PS3 menu. I really wonder if this is a missing 
feature in GMediaServer or a problem of the PS3 in connection with GMS?
If I serve the same video from my desktops Windows Media Server, I can 
pause, fast-forward (x2, x5, x10, x30, x120...) and do lots of other 
fancy things, which are not greyed out in the PS3 menu now.
Does anyone have a clue why it doesn't work with GMS? I'd really like to 
_not_ turn on my desktop everytime I want to watch a video. That's what 
I got my mini-itx linux box for, which runs with a 50W PSU ;)

regards
   Sascha

PS: I tried mediatomb too already, same problem. Only with WMS I had all 
functionality so far - which is not very pleasing to me :(
